Although it may seem like all the funny parts of this film are showcased in the thirty second trailer, much like a lot of family comedies, I urge you to not be fooled. Usually I would wait to watch this kind of film online or on DVD, rather than to pay money to see it on the big screen, as it appeared to be like many other American comedies with stereotypical characters and a mundane plotline.» >

A lot of fuss has already been made over Disney’s revival of the iconic American hero and most of it has been negative, whether it be the adverse reaction to Johnny Depp playing an Indian, the problems during production or the overwhelmingly negative critical response in the States that in turn has probably ensured the film’s status as a flop for the company.» >

In this instalment of Wolverine, Logan (Hugh Jackman) is summoned to Japan to meet Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), a mysterious Japanese mogul who wishes to say his final goodbye before he dies.

The end of last (university) year saw the finale of the third series of hit tv show Game of Thrones. The show, broadcast on Sky One, as well as being annually the most pirated show of the year, has a large following and rightly so.

Big Sci-Fi films seem a very rare breed these days. You can get gripping cop dramas in bulk, you can view “charming” comedies 24/7, you can wallow in Twilight rip-offs until you’re fully convinced that there is no truly merciful being in the universe… But big Sci-Fi releases can usually be counted on one hand, and good big Sci-Fi releases can often be counted on even less than that.» >

At the start of the summer, series seven of The Office was released on Netflix and once again I found myself completely hooked; suffice to say, all twenty-six episodes were watched in a matter of days. What can be said, without giving too much away, is that this series gets very emotional, with Steve Carell’s hilarious character Michael Scott saying goodbye to the ‘Dunder Mifflin’ office (I’m not really the crying type, but I’m not ashamed to admit that I was weeping like a small child).» >

In Despicable Me 2, Gru (Steve Carell) is enlisted by the government to track down an unknown super villain who stole a chemical weapon from them.
